The scent of hot coffee and fresh paper filled the air. I, determined and energized, was putting the final touches on my novel โ€“ a sweeping historical epic I had painstakingly crafted over the past few years. A shiver of anticipation raced down my spine as I knew this book would go on to be a success.

A woman approached me, holding a copy of my book. Except it wasn't my book, it was her book. She looked so happy. I smiled to myself, and shook her hand. We had a great story to share.
